"Erik, I am going to the northern border for a bit," I told him as I began packing.
Erik pulled me by my arm into his lap.
"Whatever you can do, you can stay with me."
There it is... Erik is being needy again.
I touched his cheek with my hand.
"You have become King... You are in a position where you must not leave from your tower is what I should say," I said as I pulled his cheeks. "You have been sneaking out here and there..."
"Ow... how did you find out?"
"I know that you have been sneaking out with the amount of books piling in our bedroom. Most of them are not even about law or medicine. That means that you have been obtaining these books outside of the Royal Library," I said as I pointed towards the unorganized pile of books.
A few maids would come and clean only once a week
